Part 16: White Privilege Part 3
Well, becuase of this most recent class, I have sat down and thought about the different things that I don't have to worry about as a white, straight male: I can wake up everyday and most likely find someone representing my race on the news, and they don't have to be involved in the news story. I can walk down the street, and don't have to worry about being harassed because of my sexuality or skin tone. I don't have to worry about sexist jokes insulting me. I can go shopping at most stores and not expect for anyone to follow me around because they assume I am going to steal something because of my race. That's just a few I thought of.
